Nollywood actor Deyemi Okanlawon has called on creatives across music, film, fashion, and other sectors to create works that can compete globally and inspire pride among Nigerians.
Speaking on the Creativitea podcast, Okanlawon said the country needs more creative exports that showcase the best of Nigeria to the world and give citizens a stronger sense of national pride.
“We need things that will make us proud to be Nigerians. We need our creative people to create things, music, film, fashion, whatever it is, that will go outside the shores of the country. People will celebrate us, we will feel proud to be called Nigerians,” he said.
